CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 342,654, dated May 25,1886.

Application filed November 18,1885. Serial No. 183,212. (No model.)Patented in Belgidm August 3, 1885, No. 69,806.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT VAsARHELYI, a subject of the King of Hungary,and a resident of the city of BudaIesth, in the Empire ofAustria-Hungary, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement inOhurns, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a butter-making machine or churn of that classin which the churning is effected by means of rotating wings or dashers.

My improvement consists in the novel construction and combination ofdevices, as hereinafter described and specifically claimed.

In the annexed sheet of drawings I have shown a churn or buttermakingmachine constructed according to the present invention and designed tobe driven by hand by means of a cord and pulley.

Figure 1 is a front view, Fig. 3 a side view, Fig. 2 a horizontaltransverse section, and Fig. 4 a top view, of the machine.

The machine constructed according to this invention consists of acylindrical receptacle, A, the inner sides, a. of which are providedwith vertical ribs; of a movable vertical shaft, B, at the lower end ofwhich are secured perforated wings or dashers b b,- of a cover, 0,provided with a funnel and serving to close the machine; of a doublepulley, D, arranged above the cover at the upper part of the said shaft,a cord, E, being wound upon the said pulley with one end to the rightand with the other end to the left, and of a cross-bar, F, whichmaintains the shaft in a vertical position, the bar F being retained inposition by means of springarms f f, attached in any suitable manner toopposite sides of the churn, the upper ends of said. arms passingthrough slots in the ends of the cross-bar F.

In use the machine is first fixed upon a table or in some other suitableposition. The upper cross-bar, F, is then removed, and the shaft B,together with the cover 0, is lifted out of the machine. The milk orcream is now poured into the receptacle until it is twothirds full, sothat one-third of the space remains for the movement of the milk. Theshaft is then inserted at the lower end in a step-bearing, K, situatedat the bottom of the machine. The machine is closedby the cover 0, andthe cross-bar F is fitted upon the upper end of the shaft B. The twoends of the cord E, wound upon the double pulley D, are then alternatelypulled to and fro, whereby motion is imparted to the shaft and to thedashers thereon until the butter is ready.

I am aware that it is not new to construct a churn having a rotarydasher with an internally corrugated or ribbed cream-receptacle. I amalso aware that it is not new in churns to operate the rotary dasher bymeans of a cord or cords wound upon the dasher-shaft; hence I do notclaim these features as my invention.

I claim In a churn, the combination, with the receptacle A and therevolving dasher-shat't B, of thecross-piece F, having a socket for thereception of the end of the dasher-shaft, and slots near its ends, andthe spring-arms ff, secured to the receptacle A, and having their upperends bent outwardly,whereby the crossbar F may be readily removed bycompressing the arms ff, snbstantiallyas described.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my sig nature in presence of twowitnesses.
